                                The human body is remarkably capable of synthesizing its own niacin (Vitamin B3) from the amino acid tryptophan, making it a primary natural substitute. For most people, a diverse diet rich in both preformed niacin and tryptophan is the best way to maintain adequate B3 levels.
